The National Military Strategy, embracing principles of-Deterrence, Forward Presence, Crisis Response, and Reconstitution, requires a revisioning for Army installations, Central to this new installation role is the capacity to respond rapidly from the CONUS base with overwhelming force in response to regional crises, to enhance deterrence, and to perform peacetime missions. This strategy marks the dawn of a new era for Army installation management and philosophy. Installations of the twenty-first century must have the capability to train, mobilize, deploy, sustain, support, recover, and reconstitute assigned and mobilized operating forces, The traditional boundary between tactical and sustaining base activities will disappear as the installation power projection platform assumes an active role in the welfare of deployed operating forces.
